10 Yes, but you need dev-lang/php-4*, not dev-php/php-4*. Unmerge the
11 blockers and dev-lang/php-4* will emerge. You don't need mod_php anymore,
12 it is provided by the apache(2) USE flags of dev-lang/php.

14 If the JFFNMS ebuild explicitly depends on dev-php/php, it is broken.
15 file a bug and add it to /etc/portage/profile/package.provided to work
16 around it until it is fixed (or fix the ebuild yourself).
